Cricket: Polygon School v. P. & O. (High School): … A match between the above elevens was commenced on the Antelope Ground on Wednesday bat time intervening it was decided to play it out on the following Saturday and which, it will be seen from the scores resulted in a comparatively easy victory for the former club by one innings and sixty three runs, mainly owing to the fine bating of C. Hart, Hart, A, and J. Adams, and to the rare bowling of James, who was on the spot and played havoc with his opponents stumps. Stebbing and Guichet played well for their sides. Subjoined is the score: Polygon School: 146 all out. P. & O. (High School) First innings 63 all out (F. Pincent b. James, 0); Second Innings 16 all out (F. Pincent 0) …

SOUTHAMPTON IMPERIAL HOTEL: This large and magnificent hotel having been opened to the public a short time since, a number of gentlemen connected with the mail steam shipping companies frequenting this port were invited by the directors on Saturday to inspect the building and afterwards to partake of luncheon. Bigness in our public edifices is now a favourite idea, and a tendency for large hotels having set in, a town and port which is resorted to by so many passengers from all parts of the world, as Southampton, induced a number of capitalists, taking that fact as one of the main bases for their undertaking, to erect in close contiguity to the Railway Terminus and docks an hotel which, for exterior and interior magnificence, vies with any building of the kind either in the provinces or in the metropolis itself. … … (discussion and later speeches) … … Mr. Pond gave “The pursers,” who looked after the creature comforts of those on-board ship, which was a very important department, for if anything went wrong in regard to it the speedy accomplishment of the voyage might be interfered with. Mr. Pinsent, superintendent of the pursers’ department, said after 25 years’ experience in the service he could testify to the importance of a good commissariat on board ship, for if not attended to properly something was certain to go wrong. The pursers had a difficult duty to perform, especially in giving satisfaction to some of their Indian passengers, (hear), but he was bound to say that those engaged in that department of the service were peculiarly fitted for it and performed their duties most efficiently. Those who were interested in that magnificent hotel could not do better than cultivate the good feeling of the officers and surgeons of the Peninsular and Oriental and other steamship companies connected with the port, and he was satisfied from all he had seen that better accommodation for passengers could not be found anywhere.

NEWTON ABBOT: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. Wolfe presiding. A committee consisting of the Rev. J. M. Hawker, Messrs. J C. Wade, J. Creed, T. Wills, and Dr. Barham was appointed to meet Mr. Pinsent, with a view entering into some amicable arrangement with regard to the sewerage of the parish of Kingsteignton. According to the plans of the board the sewerage of the village of Kingsteignton is intended to be emptied on property belonging to, and near, the residence of Mr. Pinsent. Mr. Pinsent has consequently applied for an injunction at the Court of Chancery, and it has been granted, for the stoppage of the works. The Rev. F. S. Wall, who brought the report of the Visiting Committee stated that there were 219 paupers in the house. Mr. Lawe reminded the board that about eighteen months or two years ago an order was given for the admittance of a pauper named Woodley, into the house as soon as she was capable of being removed. Since then, she had to his own knowledge resided in different parts of the town, and now he said she was in the house. He therefore wanted to know how it was that she had not been compelled to come into the house before. Mr. Tozer, the relieving officer, said that the medical officer would not grant an order for her removal before. The subject then dropped, and the board shortly afterwards adjourned.

NEWTON: Board of Guardians: Wednesday. The Rev. R. R. Wolfe presided. There was only a limited attendance of guardians. Respecting the Kingsteignton sewage, referred to last week, the following committee were today appointed to confer with Mr. Pinsent, who has obtained an injunction in Chancery to stay proceedings of the works in respect to the main sewage, it being contemplated to have the outlet on his premises near his house. Rev. J. M. Hawker, Messrs. C. Wade, J. Creed, Wills and Dr. Barham, the hope that an amicable arrangement might be come to in the matter, and thereby prevent any extraordinary amount of expenditure that must necessarily follow its being proceeded with. The works are at present stopped, by order of the Lord Chancellor. The visiting committee reported inmates clean and orderly, who made no complaint, and the provisions with which they were supplied were good. The Rev. J. M. Hawker asked the opinion of the Board relative to a girl who was living very respectably in a farmhouse, at Luton, Bishopsteignton. She had saved 17s and her father was continually pestering her for it, and wanted to take her away from her present service and place her to where he could have commanded her earnings. It was very hard on the girl, as she had no wish to leave her present situation. The officer was instructed to advise the girl to stay with her present master, and request the latter if he found her father there again, to summon him for trespassing. Mr. Rendell read the medical report; there were no returns from Messrs. Carter and Nosworthy; the others were satisfactory. The above reports, together with the sanitary and finance, were received and adopted.

Newton Abbot: Board of Guardians: The weekly meeting of this Board was held on Wednesday, the Rev. R. R. Wolfe the chair. — The Visiting Committee reported that there were 222 paupers in the house. The Clerk read a letter from Mr. Cornelius, assistant overseer for the parish of stating that the stagnant water in the public well at Cockwood had been pumped away, and the well had since been filled with good pure rock water, which he had no doubt would prove a great boon to the inhabitants. Virulent diarrhoea had already appeared there. Mr. Creed enquired if the board had taken any steps with regard to the new sewerage at Kingsteignton as he understood that an injunction had been filed in Chancery against proceeding with it. Mr. Bearne remarked that he understood the outlet of the sewer was intended to be on Mr. Pinsent’s property, near his house, and he had consequently obtained the injunction in order to prevent it. The Lord Chancellor had granted the injunction, and the works had accordingly been stopped. As the board had not as yet received any information respecting the matter, the clerk was instructed to make enquiries and to report thereon to board at their next meeting.

COOMBEINTEIGNHEAD: Cottage Garden Society: The annual exhibition in connection with this society took place in the National Schoolroom at Combeinteinghead on Friday last. The weather on the occasion was unfavourable, and this affected the attendance of the gentry of the neighbourhood very much indeed. The obliging hon. sec. (Mr. J. Franklin) and the committee, however, left nothing undone as far as the arrangements were concerned to secure the success that attended former meetings. The room in which the show took place was very tastefully decorated, and the production of the cottagers were fully equal to those of last year. The judges were Mr. W. Hannaford (florist, Teignmouth), Mr. J. Pinsent (Rocombe), and Mr. Smart, foreman to Mr. Hannaford. Miss Creed, of Coombe, exhibited a very pretty model of Coombe Parish Church, while Mr. Hannaford, nurseryman of Teignmouth had a very fine show of greenhouse and stove plants, besides a very beautiful lot of cut balsams. The Teignmouth Artillery band (Mr. Valentine, leader) was in attendance and played well during the afternoon. Among those present were the following: Sir W. Carew and the Misses Carew, Mr. H. B.

NOVEL TAXATION: — Rain, unlike light, has escaped taxation, although only narrowly; for during the long war, and when Pitt was puzzled what next to tax, he wrote, whilst staying at Burton Pinsent, In Somersetshire, to a friend and neighbour in that county, asking him to suggest something that might be taxed, as he had exhausted his stock, and was at his wits’ end. The reply was, “Tax umbrellas, and make the bishop’s order the prayer for rain to be read in all the churches till the end of the war.” Pitt, however, had already taxed everything the umbrella was made of, and, having a conscience, the contrivance to keep the rain off did not share the same fate as the one to let the light in, although in exactly the same category.
